British Legion pin

[IR 134]

Hi pals. Photo of a pin from the estate of Walther Heinert, winner of the saxon golden st. henry-medal.

Can anybody give me some informations on it? Is it maybe possible, with the numer on the backside, to find out, at which date this pin was awarded?

Mny thanks in advance

Gru? Stefan

I don't have the information immediately at hand but from memory I believe this pin is from the 1950s.

A link to the Royal British Legion Site. Looks like this badge predates 1972, the year that a crown was added to the design & I assume "Royal" added?

Interesting list of manufacturers of the badge, & perhaps the site may be able to assist re. the serial number?

Sent a PM to Stefan. This type of pin was issued 1921-1946, by membership number looks to have been issued 1944-45, after 1946 a smaller version was used but may still have been large ones in stock until all were used up.
